Slaughter cattle profits depend on feeder prices $5-$7 above a year ago, with demand for beef uncertain despite strong 1972 demand. Forecasts point to 7-8% year-end and 6-7% Q1 1973 increases in marketings, potential stabilization near current levels, and retail price relief from lower wholesale prices. By-products support prices, with live steer values at $33.50 to $35.50 in coming months.
